HARD TO BELIEVE, PERHAPS…BUT IT’S TRUE –
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR STORY. DON’T JUST LET IT SLIDE.
ADD SUCCESS –
YOU HAVE THE CHOICE BETWEEN SLOW SUCCESS AND FAST SUCCESS.
SLOW SUCCESS BUILDS CHARACTER.
FAST SUCCESS BUILDS EGO.
IN THE END, SEEK RESPECT. IT LAST LONGER.
CHANGE YOUR STORY.
BUILD CHARACTER.
EARN RESPECT.

SOMETHING I LEARNED ABOUT PEOPLE AND LIFE….
JUST DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU.
IF YOU CAN DO IT ONCE, YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN.
IT BECOMES SO MUCH SIMPLER WHYEN YOU DON’T FIND THE NEED TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF TO PEOPLE.

WHEN YOU ARE COMMITTED WITH PURPOSE AND
TAKE ACTION; MORE OPPORTUNITIES COME INTO YOUR LIFE. BELIEVE AND BUILD MORE.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT BUT
BE COMMITTED TO BECOMING BETTER.
YOU HAVE TO BE COMMITTED TO HAVE DEPTH, WHETHER
IT’S IN RELATIONSHIP, BUSINESS OR HOBBY.

PLANS… INTENTIONS… GOING TO DO IT…THE DAY ENDS.
REPEAT THE NEXT DAY, WEEK OR MONTH. NOTHING DONE.
HOW MANY OF US ARE DISTRACTED WITH SO MANY “THINGS TO DO” EVERYDAY, THAT NOTHING GETS DONE?
WE HAVE TO MOTIVATE OURSELVES TO WORK ON THOSE IMPORTANT THINGS, TO DO AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT ON A REGULAR BASIS.
AN INCH OF MOVEMENT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION IS BETTER THAN A MILE OF INTENTIONS.

What a way to spend a perfect Saturday afternoon.
As the Hatted Writer, new experiences. This is fun(?)
As my shirt’s brand states, FUNKITA, which is an English and Malay word combined meaning “Our fun”; join me in this fun event.
OMG! OMG! OMG! (Abbreviated for “Oh My God! [Goodness! Gosh!] Choice of last word depends on which era you are from and the mood you are in. I leave it to your imagination.) It is the last weekend of the month of January 2024. How cool can that be?
… “Sailing” by Rod Stewart is coming over the air from somewhere in the distant background.
Almost at the very last moment (note that a moment is a shorter time than a second [unverified definition]), we were invited to participate in having a booth at Amcorp Shopping Mall for this weekend. We, meaning, Jeannie and I; decided on taking it.
We had just finished playing a boardgame, “Pictureka” with Laura (our daughter) and Praga (Laura’s boyfriend), when we received a message asking if we would like to take up the slot that became available at the very last minute.
The result: We are here, at Amcorp Shopping Mall, now; on the first floor at Booth F1.16. New area, new spot, new friends from the booths on the both sides of us. We are already well into the 5th hour.
Almost as soon as we opened with an invisible “WELCOME SIGN”, that the Batik Influencer managed to sell one of her creations.
I, on the other hand, according to Jeannie, who is also my image consultant; had to work on my image as a writer, while welcoming and making new friends, and finding new owners for my HOTWHEELS collection.
So, with the hat on, a more writer’s image of a writer, do you think? Perhaps, the long awaited book-writing project will move with gusto?
Jane of “Jane’s Cottage Soaps” (her own business, naturally), is one of the long time businesses of Amcorp Shopping Mall. Her products are unique, many of which she custom makes to meet the needs of her customers. She is an ardent reader of physical books (The ones where you need to turn / flip the pages. Serious readers can’t get enough of these physical books). I caught her in the act of reading a book, based on a true story writen by Ann Rule. Looking forward to her buying my book when it’s published. Btw, Jane was the only person in the row of booths, without an electronic gadget in her hands.
OK. Signing out for now. I’m thinking : Should I get a mechanical keys keyboard to add more writer to the writer? I wonder…
Come meet with us at the address below.
1st Floor, Amcorp Shopping Mall (1),
Booth 1.16, Level 1
Amcorp Shopping lMall,
8, Jalan, Persiaran Barat, Seksyen 52 Petaling Jaya, 46050 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia
Date: Jan 27 and Jan 28, 2024
Time: 10.00am to 5.30pm (can be extended to 7.00pm)
YOU CAN’T GET A MAXIMUM RESULT FROM A MINIMUM EFFORT.
HOWEVER, DON’T BE TOO HARD ON YOURSELF. LOVE YOURSELF AND BE PROUD OF EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO. NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM JUST BECAUSE SOME THINGS DID NOT GO AS PLANNED OR THE TIME IT WILL TAKE TO ACCOMPLISH IT. THE TIME WILL PASS ANYWAY.
JUST KEEP YOUR DREAM IN FOCUS.
